Also, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas!
Focus and Features:
*******************
- 100% decentralized: running your code on your hardware with your
broker's data feeds **is the point** (this is not a web-based *I
don't know how to run my own system* project).
- Built on a highly reliable next-gen [actor
model](https://github.com/goodboy/tractor) with built in async
streaming and scalability protocols allowing us avoid clunky
object-oriented-heavy APIs
- Production grade, highly attractive native UIs that feel and fit like
a proper pair of skinny jeans; only meant to be used with a proper
tiling window manager (no, we are not ignorant enough to roll our own).
- Sophisticated charting capable of processing large data sets in real-time
while sanely displaying complex models and strategy systems.
- Built-in support for *hipstery* indicators and studies that you
probably haven't heard of but that the authors **know** generate alpha
when paired with the right strategies.
- Emphasis on collaboration through sharing data, ideas, and processing
power.
- Adoption is very low priority, especially if you're not an experienced
trader; the system is not built for sale it is built for *people* who
work as independent computational traders.
- No, we will never have a "corporation friendly license".
Fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas.
